*The Glossary at the end of this press release contains further details regarding reconciliation to GAAP items and Adjusted items.

Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Andrew Rooke commented, “Third quarter 2017 results reflect continued progress in the development of ASV as an independent company and good execution from the team, highlighted by 60% year over year growth from machine sales, a near-doubling in our pre-tax earnings, and expansion in our dealer location count. Year-to-date machine sales through our distribution in North America have completely replaced those previously made through the Terex construction group distribution, and the expansion of our ASV network continued through the quarter, with the addition of twenty-one locations and particularly strong sell-through in Australia where we have also added six dealer locations this year. Our targeted penetration into the rental channel was boosted by the receipt of a $2.0 million order for fourth quarter 2017 delivery that we announced in September. In addition, our equipment remains on test at two regional rental companies here in North America which may well lead to further inroads into the rental market.”

Mr. Rooke continued, “The relocation of our aftermarket parts distribution center to Grand Rapids, Minnesota which we first announced in October, is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2018, and should yield customer service improvements and reduce our operating costs. The markets we serve remain stable, and we look forward to continuing to execute our plan to stimulate sales and achieve our EBITDA margin and net income growth objectives throughout the year and beyond.

Missi How, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our progress in positioning ASV for sustainable, long-term success. Adjusting for certain non-recurring or non-repeating items and public company costs, our gross and EBITDA margins are showing year over year improvement. We continue to focus on strengthening our balance sheet and have generated nearly $9 million in operating cash flow year-to-date, with roughly $3 million of that in the third quarter. Working capital is down by $3.4 million for the first nine months of 2017 and our total indebtedness is less than half of what it was at the end of 2016. We expect to complete the re-financing of our remaining term debt in early 2018, which will further reduce our interest cost. Overall, we anticipate improvements in gross, pre-tax, and net margins as a result of strategic actions we’re taking, and look forward to a strong close to the year.”

Supplemental Information

Cautionary Statement Regarding Non-GAAP Measures

This release contains references to “EBITDA” and “Adjusted EBITDA.” EBITDA is defined for the purposes of this release as net income or loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA less the gain or loss related to non-recurring events. Management believes that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are useful supplemental measures of our operating performance and provide meaningful measures of overall corporate performance exclusive of our capital structure and the method and timing of expenditures associated with building and placing our products. EBITDA is also presented because management believes that it is frequently used by investment analysts, investors and other interested parties as a measure of financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA is also presented because management believes that it provides a measure of our recurring core business.

However, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized earnings measures under generally accepted accounting principles of the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other issuers. Investors are cautioned that EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as alternatives to net income or loss or other income statement data (which are determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP) as an indicator of our performance or as a measure of liquidity and cash flows. Management’s method of calculating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may differ materially from the method used by other companies and accordingly, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

Reconciliation of GAAP Net Income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (in thousands)

* The Company converted to a C corporation in May 2017, and consequently 2017 EBITDA for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes approximately $0.5 million and $1.0 million of public company costs not included in 2016 EBITDA. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, 2016, Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is $1.9 million and $6.7 million respectively.

(1)

EBITDA is defined as income or loss before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The table above reconciles net income to EBITDA. See “—Cautionary Statements Regarding Non-GAAP Measures” for further information regarding EBITDA.

(2)

Costs associated with the 2017 ConExpo trade show. The ConExpo show, which is held every three years, was held in Las Vegas in March of this year. This show is an international gathering place for the construction industries. It is estimated that 130,000 professionals from around the world attended the show.

(3)

Revision to accrual for legal proceeding expenses is included in Adjusted EBITDA since it is an adjustment in the period to an accrual established at the formation of the Joint Venture and is not representative of the operating activity in the reported period. This adjustment was due to the settlement of a legal claim lower than the accrued cost.

(4)

Stock compensation and IPO transaction related compensation costs.

(5)

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA less the gain or loss related to non-recurring events. Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measure under U.S. GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP. Therefore, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. The table above reconciles EBITDA to Adjusted EBITDA. See “—Cautionary Statements Regarding Non-GAAP Measures” for further information regarding EBITDA.

(6)

2016 Pro Forma Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBITDA less public company costs

*Pro forma adjustments for public company costs and (C corporation basis) tax expense: The company converted from a LLC to a corporation on May 11, 2017. The pro forma adjustments reflect the actual public company costs incurred in the third quarter of 2017 as if the company had been a corporation in the third quarter of 2016, and a pro forma (C corporation basis) tax charge on income at a tax rate of 36%.

Days Sales Outstanding, (DSO), is calculated by taking the sum of net trade and related party receivables divided by annualized sales per day (sales for the quarter, multiplied by 4, and the sum divided by 365).

Days Payables Outstanding, (DPO), is calculated by taking the sum of net trade and related party payables divided by annualized cost of sales per day (cost of goods sold for the quarter, multiplied by 4, and the sum divided by 365).

Inventory turns are calculated by multiplying cost of goods sold for the referenced three-month period by 4 and dividing that figure by inventory as at the referenced period.

Working capital is calculated as total current assets less total current liabilities
